Log on as "Bill", the administrator. Open up Control Panel > User Accounts and Family Safety > Add or Remove User Accounts > Open "Media2" and delete it. You will be asked to store the "Media2" user files. Do that, examine the files and folders afterwards and delete them if there is nothing there you want to keep. If a "Media2" folder still exists in C:\Users\ after you removed the account, you can safely delete it. Charlie42 |

| Re: how do I delete a user Thanks that time it worked For some reason the first time I went to 'Users' I couldn't see the Media2 account. I took the safe way and 'saved' it before deleteing.
